The citizens of New London, Mo„ recently declared, ngaimt municipal ownership by a voie of 100 to 2. Thus again do wc find the people deprived of their rights by a corporation rlddetr majority, t o n IVe do hot credit the report that New York Intends to place Jts most accom­ plished bunko steerers lii the pilot houses- of, the municipal forty, it is move Hkeiy to get its helmsmen from the League of American Wheelmen, ft ft An inquirer wants to know why n professor of Latin and Greek should not become a capable superintendent of a -municipal cemetery. We see no good reason why lie shouldn't, except that his familiarity with dead lan­ guages would be apt to put him on such chatty terms with his tenants that he would neglect his business, j ft ft- A friend of ours has discovered that this talk about depreciation In street car lines is all tommyrot in so far afl the crosstown lines aro concerned any­ how. It is a well known fact, ho says, that these lines never run down. They run across. We respectfully submit this arguriient to>their honors the city fathers. '» ■ ■ ft. f t Without wishing to be at. nil Invid­ ious, wo would call attention to the interesting acrostic furnished by tho Municipal Ownership Ilubhle, which, strangely enough, signifies the ulti­ mate ownership, of public utilities un­ der tho municipal ownership idea. Try It and see; Municipal Ownership Hubble-. ' ■ f t f t Resourceful Youth. The enterprising lad noticed an ad­ vertisement calling for a red-haired office hoy, but lacked the qualification iuetftionoti, s i s h e remarked, "WhbriJ’d you keep your poroxidof i've gat &> dye! tn beat this game," If Municipal Ownership Tried by the Hub, but Found Wanting, It Was Voted In 1905 Not to Try to Establish Municipal Gas apt) Electric Light Works Because the City Had Already Shov-gt Its Inability to Carry on "Public Utilities—-History of. the Unsuccessful Attempts. In tOOd the city council of Boston voted against attempting municipal gas and electric lighting on the ground that the city had already proved its Inabil­ ity- In such matters by a succession of failures in various trading enterprises. In 189", for instance, Boston estab­ lished a municipal printing plant. Five years later, in 1902, Iiarvoy Chase, an expert accountant, who. was examin­ ing all tho city departments for Mayor Collins, and Thomas P, Nichols, an ex­ pert printer, reported ’ that the plant Jmd already lost oyer $40,000 and that it greater loss was avoided only by charging other departments more than they would have had, to pay outside printers. They also reported- that at the time of the investigation the stock room was crowded with unnecessary paper, inks, etc., bought at great expense and lia­ ble to depreciation by handling or dam­ age by tire; that some valuable stock, then very recently bought, cbuld not be found, nor could there be found. any. record of its use', that excessive rates were paid for ruling and binding done outside; that there was an entirely un­ necessary number of employees In all divisions of the department, who add­ ed to flic expense and subtracted-from ihe efficiency; that a disposition to kill time wos manifest, nnd that in spite of the fact that the hours of employees were shorter than in private plants less wns_ accomplished per man per hour worked. * The operation of two ferry lines from Boston to Bast Boston, which were bought by tho city in U59, loom­ ed up, as another object lesson. Until 1870 the ferries wore leased at a loss and since then have been operated by the city at an even greater Toss. In 1877, to he sure, the city, made the mag­ nificent profit of $03.88, hut in each of the other forty-seven years up to Feb- ruary,- 190(>. ilioro was a deficit vary­ ing from $780 to $202,000 and amount­ ing’ in all-to $3,743.54S. or an average of almost f,78,O0O a year. Boston’s water supply, though far famed for quantity and quality, fur­ nished hut another proof that the city cannot do business a3 well, as a pri­ vate corporation. Boston receives pure water from tho metropolitan water hoard, distributes It through the city, collects the charges amt each year pays Its assessed Share ot the total expense, This would seem a simple proposition, but Harvey Chase in 1992 in K3a, report On the water department saith "The Jack of proper method* for handling pstxmiM-am ot snob ntognltRde and, of the capital account* is th it waterworks’ bookkeeping over nine# the foundation of the plant are, aston­ ishing. * * * Timm has been excess­ ive expenditure for work done through the employment of unnecessary men. by- the employment of aged and Infirm men and by other means whereby the costs of work have been heavily in­ creased,’* Four years have now’ gone by since the evils in those three departments were made public in n free city docu­ ment, hut nothing has |heeu done to remedy them. ’’Even Iti those depart* ments especially investigated and re­ ported upon In considerable detail," said Harvey Chase In 1000, "the an­ nual expense today ia as Jargo ns be-, fore nnd in Some cases even relatively larger.’’ IVlmt surer proof of ineffi­ ciency could he given? 1 But even had there heen.no printing, no ferry, no 'water fiascos, the amounts paid recently for services-of-xeterina- riuna to care for the horses i,n tho street and police departments of Bos­ ton would alone have been sufficient to Indicate that it would be wbli to limit rather than extend Boston’s municipal activities. The police department in 1904 paid $19.3-1 for veterinary services nhd med­ icine for each of its sixty or more horses, an outrageous price, and the next year pal'd neatly $25. The street department, where wasting the tax­ payers* money in excessive veterinary payments had eome to be a habit, enslly topped Its own high figures in 1003 by paying $24.20 for each of 600 homes. These figures were so obviously ex­ cessive that Gome change had. to be made. Accordingly fho police depart­ ment under a new single headed com­ mission reduced its -veterinary ex­ penses in 1900 to about $13 per horse, and the mayor Instituted a plan by which tho cost per horse in the street department came down to $14. That these reductions were possible is Itself n sure proof that Boston is anything but efficient In business, and further proof, If any is needed, can he found' by comparing oven these re­ duced figures with, any, tho average of $10 per horse paid under able manage­ ment in the fire department, with the $5.94 paid by the police department in 1902, with the honn fide offer of one of the best veterinarians in the city to do the street department’s work for. $0 per horse ahd finally with the $2 per year for earii of its 200 horses paid by a great private grocery rtrnt supply firm, fnBoston, Compared with some cities, Boston is well governed, hut tliese and a Suc­ cession of similar illustrations of waste­ fulness, failure amt executive ability prove that It ennnot do business in n way to give li> citizens full value for the money they pay la taxes.—Court- nay Crocker, .

And whenever an ex­ tra burden fa put upon the corporation: it is immediately transferred to the shoulders of the people, who pay it out- ot the BUgarhowl, the -skillet, tho coal pile, the trolley ride, and thowalk down town, . <. "Well," one says, "that’* the kind of taxation—where one feel* St to the least possible extent." And that Is the kind of taxation that Is the toother of half the graft, corruption and ex­ travagance in this country. When the Ho-called statesmen make'a. man he- Ucvo that somebody else Is paying his taxe-a, they go on spending his money in all needless and extravagant ways. When a man is made to feel that a corporation pays ilia faxes, he la not so apt to inquire what becomes of tho money, Any old political machine can have it for all he cares. In an article 1a Moody’s Magazine, by R, L. Bridgeman, occurs this ob­ servation.* "A policy of direct taxation is mom conducive to honest adminis­ tration than tho policy of indirect tax­ ation, whereby the people do not know how much tn'oncy is taken from them, and therefore have leas personal interest In demanding -what becomes of it.” it ia thl3 easy paying taxation, this belief that the corporations are paying the bills, that leads the people to look on with unconcern at the out­ rageous extravagance that is going on. Every man should understand that the dollar the corporation pays to the public treasury it exacts from him, and as an Intelligent and dutiful citi­ zen Be Should see that it is not use­ lessly and lavishly spent.—Editorial; Ohio State Journal.

Tho citizens Interested in tax reform want nn amendment slvlr.s tho legislature tho broad power of classifying the subject of taxation and deciding what will ho taxed tor state and what for local purpose*. 'Oregon has had a, taxation commission nt work for some time. From its report recently submitted, the conclusion readi­ ed thero is that the general property tax la not working well and that It ought to bo abolished in part at least. It Is sug­ gested that it would ho well td have sop-- urate nources for revenue for state and for local government, nnd the only way to attain this Is by amending the consti­ tution. .
